Shooting range

Got the rifle range all setup, 40-50 yards max distance. Built it for both my powder burners and my pcp air rifles. Feels good to have a safe backstop to shoot at. Total cost so far has still been under 200$. I may pick up some AR 400 steel for plinking. Anyone in northern Illinois southern Wisconsin is welcome to pm me and come out and shoot. I am hoping next year to have the 100 and 200 yard range done. I also bought a cheap canopy so that i have cover from the sun when its hot out.

I'm saving up for another picnic table so there will be more room under the canopy...without the table I have about 450.00 invested in my range. Targets start at 20-25 yards and go to 109 yards. I've made some changes but this started out as a hay field that I mowed for my lane and went from there. The plywood targets are at 25-50-75 and 100 yards and you can shoot them from different spot.

Just absolutely amazing, were did you get the steel?
 
"MOSINMARINE"My friend accidentally hit my ar500 with 7.62 39 and it went through it like butter haha
I bet at 50 yards right? I went from having a AK to a Windham AR in 762x39 plus I have a Mini 30 I like the round it's a hitter, my FNAR likes the Prvi 308 matched and the AR10 doesn't mind it either and my Tavor X95 .556 is a nice CQ weapon. Getting into airguns is a big step in a different direction for sure buts it's also fun at the same time if you don't run into issues and it's just as expensive when you get into airtanks,tether set ups and compressors hahaha.....
